This program dedicated to meeting the health care needs of society with special consideration for rural communities through practice, education, and administration. As autonomous practitioners or members of multi-disciplinary teams, program graduates are recognized as leaders in the provision of evidence-based practice that is compassionate, ethical, and legal. Program graduates adapt to and implement change that benefits their community and the profession. The entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program at The College of St. Scholastica is a 3+3 model of education. Prerequisite years contain coursework necessary for admission to the program and general education requirements. Physical therapy professional education begins in the fourth year and is a full-time day program, 33 continuous months in length. Once admitted into the program, students take all courses at the graduate level. During the first year, students gain knowledge of the profession and begin fundamental skill acquisition. Students who start the first year of the DPT without a bachelor's degree will be awarded a B.A. in Health Sciences upon successful completion of the first year at the end of the spring semester. During the fifth and sixth years, students continue to acquire application skills along with proficiency in critical inquiry necessary for advancement of knowledge in physical therapy.
